Waiting on Wednesday

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event that is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine and spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.

This week I’m looking forward to The Seafarer’s Kiss by Julia Ember. Last year I read Unicorn Tracks and fell madly in love with Julia’s writing. It’s magical. Seriously! I’ve been dying to get my hands on what she would release next and this year we are getting 2 books! YAY!

So, why do I NEED this book? Well…

– The cover is gorgeous!
– It’s a F/F retelling of The Little Mermaid.
– It’s told from Ursula’s (Ersel) point of view.

Having long-wondered what lives beyond the ice shelf, nineteen-year-old mermaid Ersel learns of the life she wants when she rescues and befriends Ragna, a shield-maiden stranded on the mermen’s glacier. But when Ersel’s childhood friend and suitor catches them together, he gives Ersel a choice: say goodbye to Ragna or face justice at the hands of the glacier’s brutal king.

Determined to forge a different fate, Ersel seeks help from Loki. But such deals are never as one expects, and the outcome sees her exiled from the only home and protection she’s known. To save herself from perishing in the barren, underwater wasteland and be reunited with the human she’s come to love, Ersel must try to outsmart the God of Lies.

Yay! I’m loving all of the positive feedback and posts about it. That’s how I heard of Unicorn Tracks and the hype was more than deserving. Her other upcoming book, The Tiger’s Watch, also has a beautiful cover and sounds perfect. We are getting spoiled this year 😛

LOL, I’ve seen this one on three other blogs so far! This book definitely sounds promising and I absolutely love that cover. I’ve also seen the author’s aesthetic on Gretchen’s post! I think I’m sold haha 😀

Well…I just saw them both around the same time. But I love both of them…that look of cutout art. I used to make that kind of art myself and it looks quite cool. I might want this one JUST for the cover, lol!!
